ššššššĀ ššššĀ ššššš,Ā Ā (a prompt list lifted from the novel/book with the same name, by ivy tholen, triggers for gore, violence, blood, injuries and general horror will be present. change pronouns as you see fit)
is this a joke? please tell me this is a joke.
i put the car in reverse and managed to drive away unseen.
i was never going to walk away from this.
please donāt make me do it.
iāve already given you enough therapy material for the next thirty years.
stop it! youāre going to kill us both!
too bad your phones gone. your fans would die if they could see you now.
itās like licking copper pipes covered in sand.
i canāt have you bleed to death.
nobody ever becomes a professional musician anyway.
youāll probably become an accountant or something.
iām not going to kill you. iām just going to end your life.
someone will see this and call the cops. theyāre coming for you.
they aināt gonna catch me.
you confessed to everything and provided enough evidence to convict you.
this is texas. youāre gonna fry.
i donāt have it in me to mutilate you.
you have to die, but you donāt have to slasher movie die.
i wasnāt going to put all of this online.
itās better to go out with a bang, right?
i can help you. it doesnāt have to end this way.
what is done can be undone. please call me.
you put on a freaky costume and stalked her.
is this a joke? where are you? what did you do?
youāre a real sick piece of shit.
they think itās fake! should i be offended or flattered?
iām less and less scared the longer were up here.
oh my god, why are you acting like this is a party?
are you really in a position to mock me?
oh what are you going to do? kill me?
you decided. you decided before we even got here.
you just lied to yourself and said youād spare me so youād feel less like a villain.
well, i canāt exactly put all this online. or can i?
who would agree to do that for you?
it was hard to decide to kill you. you donāt deserve it. not like the rest of them.
of course you did. why wouldnāt you?
you butchered them. how are you not drenched in blood?
you put up a fight though, more than i expected.
who wouldnāt want to stare into these bette davis eyes for eternity?
does this mean your idea of heaven is staring at yourself in the mirror?
i donāt care anymore. just tell me what youāre going to do.
you must be in as much pain as i am, right?
how can a person be mopey and anxious at the same time?
so iām pathetic. youāre pathetic. weāre kindred spirits.
are you finding jesus right here in this carnival or something?Ā
iām miserable. i thought it would make me feel better.
when i first decided to do this, i planned to kill you.
i didnāt want to mangle you or make you suffer.
why? we had a deal. why did you kill her?
give us a story and weāll stick to it.
people never really give each other the benefit of the doubt.
everything is too much, right? you get it?
have you ever felt like the entire world is turning against you?
theyāre so cute i could steal them and take them home.
i mean, i canāt say no to ice cream.
it would be better than murdering your friends in cold blood.
right, right. shouldnāt talk shit about the dead. my bad.
youāre such a little fighter, trying to find a weapon. i respect that.
youād do anything for a friend, wouldnāt you?
we weāre never that close. youād sell me out in a secound.
weāll say we never saw the killer without his mask.
technically, you have to be crazy to kill someone in general.
iāve seen this asshole in action. if he wanted you dead, you would be.
i will be right back and i will have cops with me.
one a scale of one to ten, how screwed are we?
can you enjoy a moment without researching it?
can you enjoy a moment without documenting it for your followers?
why didnāt you save me? i wouldāve saved you.
if youāre not going to hurt me, can i leave?
i donāt even know who you are. youāre wearing a mask.
in fact, donāt hide at all. iām not going to hurt you.
i already played hide and seek with [name], iām bored with that game.
i canāt die in a room that smells like feet and old coffee.
can we please not refer to anyone in the past tense?
why are you telling me this right now?
youāre not crazy. iām sorry if i made you feel that way.
i need you to know in case something happens.
weāll be testifying at this assholeās trail.
do whatever your little heart tells you.
i canāt touch a dead body.
heāll find us. heās had no trouble so far. itās like he can teleport.
shouldnāt we hide as best as we can and wait?
thereās no happy ending for me. i threw it all away.
iām pissed off and what youāre witnessing is me doing my best to feel better.
iām not taking off the fucking mask. i might take yours off though.
itās hard to hear anything inside this mask.
thereās never a good reason to murder people, youāre crazy.
if you run, iāll catch you.
donāt run. iām not moving. you donāt move neither.
iām smashed up too. wonāt be stopping me.
am i a horrible person if i say no?
itās like you said. we have to save ourselves.
since when did you become a badass?
did we learn our lesson about dropping our weapons in front of murderers?
iām light headed. i canāt do this much longer.
arenāt you dumbasses supposed to be hiding from me?
do you have a death wish? because i sure donāt.
you can tell me. are you the killer?
you told her to act like a kitty and fall asleep. itās your fault.
how do you kill someone with a carousel?
weāre putting people in coffins?
when you see blood, you know blood, you feel blood.
if we donāt die, you wanna get married?
weāre going to die, arenāt we?
thereās a psycho in a cloak and mask chasing us around and you want to go into a haunted house?
you sound like the hero in an action movie. no one talks like that.
what if itās more than one person?
do you have your phone with you?
this isnāt nearly as fun as i imagined it would be.
that fucking carousel music. itās going to be stuck in my head for days.
fair enough. conversation dead and buried.
ugh. i donāt want to talk about this anymore.
if i tried to do that, iād break my neck.
dude, this isnāt school. you donāt have to raise your hand.
people like to think they can survive a dangerous situation.
look, you donāt have to if you donāt want too.
never mind getting caught, how are we going to get home?
i want to go to college next year, not prison.
we need to get it done so we can explore the creepy abandoned carnival.
if people donāt want to ride with me, iām not going to hold them hostage.
why are we playing along with this circus?
iād sooner die than be so close to a body of water.
weāre breaking into a carnival with all our friends.
iām a bad enough driver as it is.
i know for a fact she almost didnāt get an invite.
i read about it in an article on womenās self-defense.
i wouldnāt call me names if i were you.
youāre not a teeny bit concerned i might try to finish the job later?
i paid attention and learned.
are we all getting the picture now?
i canāt carry you. youāll have to stay here.
i didnāt want to leave her there. i had no choice.
check yourself and make sure youāre okay.
yeah and the brown stuff is dried blood.
scared your name will be there?
your story was hard to believe.
i donāt want you to be freaked out about something when it probably means nothing.
maybe youāre putting together a pattern that isnāt really there.
i noticed something weird. you canāt call me crazy if i tell you.
what if weāre the only ones left?
itās not about physical strength. weāre smarter than him.
the clock is running out for some people.
if youāre going to kill me anyway, you might as well tell me who you are.
maybe iāll take her and leave her in chunks. maybe i already have.
itās not about not liking you. i donāt particularly dislike any of you.Ā
iām curious, have you wondered why iām doing this? whatās my motivation?
if i were in your shoes, iād have so many questions.
turn around and look at me. itās hard to hear anything inside this mask.
this doesnāt feel like reality. is it? is this really happening?
donāt joke about [name] hurting people.Ā
letās not get too upset. emotions breed mistakes.
i donāt want him to go to jail. i want him dead.
if i see him again, iām going to take your hammer and bash his brains in.
i wish iād drilled a hole in his head when i had the chance.
itās like thereās a million spiders running down my neck.
he killed my best friend. if i get my chance, iām going to make him pay.
i picked it up when we ran.
heās in here somewhere.
we have to keep running or we have to find a better hiding spot.
we also have to be prepared to fight.
iām gonna hurl. it smells like lemon, cheese and metal in here.
see. carousel as murder weapon.
iām serious. this is life or death.
all you have to do is curl up like a kitty and fall asleep.
then he found me. the gross tongue mask from before.
can you come here? iām so high iām hallucinating. or i hope i am.
move as fast as you can while we still have light.
did you put your arm around me to guide me into the building or so i could hold you?
my immortal soul just drifted up. just now. it bloomed.
mmm, grilled cheese. i should of gotten another one at dinner.
if i have to fight him, iām playing for keeps.
it could be anyone. we can let the cops play detective.
iām less concerned with who he is and more concerned with getting out alive.
you think itās the same guy?
that has nothing to do with right now.
did you think i wouldnāt see you?
are we going to make it out alive?
weāre going the long way around to the house of horrors.
will you please get off the ground?
there was supposed to be a guard here tonight, wasnāt there?
iād rather die than eat anything sweet.
iām not so high that i canāt outrun this guy or even take him down.
you canāt go looking for them alone.
[name] is dead and if we donāt leave this carnival, so are we.
if you want to leave, go.
iām going to try to find the others.
i have no idea what youāre talking about. we gotta go.
something something no man left behind.
we. canāt. leave. them.
we wonāt be able to help the others if weāre dead.
there is someone in a black hooded cloak and demon mask.
itās a scare actor costume from the carnival.
we have to get outta here.
well, i welcome him to come to me, iāll kick his fucking ass!
why do i automatically assume people are dead?
what if everyone is dead?
weāre more likely to be arrested than murdered.
one hour and iāll be done. sixty little minutes and itās over.
god, i really donāt want to be here.
if i stop, itās over, iām dead.
you never know if youāll get stuck without a bathroom when you need it.
i canāt wrap my head around one person wanting us dead. what could we have done to two?
